Former president Barack Obama sent several tweets on Inauguration Day, indicating his return to his original Twitter handle, @BarackObama, and promoting his new website. Sunday afternoon, he sent his first tweet since the day he handed over the presidency to Donald Trump.

He shared a New York Times piece from last week on letters written to him throughout his presidency.
I read letters like these every single day. It was one of the best parts of the job – hearing from you. https://t.co/so1luBcszV

Of course, the onslaught of emotional tweets and tears from his fans was immediate.
Every one of @BarackObama's tweets are like small rays of sunshine in a storm. https://t.co/Zlc9y7jutw
